Haven't posted for #Arachtober yet so here's a weird one: my first hooded tick-spider! Neither a tick nor a spider, it's a member of the order #Ricinulei, small predators only found in Africa & Americas. Thanks to Sangjin Han for collecting this one. Next time I'm in Costa Rica I want to find more!
